Show HN: I Built a XSLT Blog Framework

TLDR I created a blog publishing framework built on XSLT. You can see it at https://xsltblogdemo.vgr.land/ and get the source here https://github.com/vgr-land/vgr-xslt-blog-framework Introduction Why build my own web publishing framework? It doesn't make any sense to do so. There are enough web frameworks out there to last everyone the rest of time. I wrote this for me. Once I learned the simple flow of XSLT driven site development I realized I was able to get what I want with little effort a

Writing with LLM is not a shame

Writing with LLM is not a shame. An essay about transparency on AI use. tl;dr: For people who are curious about AI, you rapidly detect people who are using it not correctly (for those who use AI “smartly” or correctly, it’s more complicated to detect it). I’m pretty sure you already saw tons of ai-written posts on social media. For me, I started to notice this in January 2024. At this moment, I was shocked of seeing all these ai-written articles or comments and I decided to disclaim my AI uses

If we can find information by asking GenAI, who needs the Web?

The World Wide Web (Web) emerged as a new medium in the mid-1990s. It was invented by Tim Berners-Lee at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in 1989, but its exploding popularity was also enabled by the release of the Mosaic Web browser in 1993 and the Internet becoming commercially available in 1995. A communication revolution was launched. Roughly 30 years later, the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI in Nov. 2022 launched another revolution. High-quality generation of natural-lan
